Page 276 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 The modified class was next with a lot more speed and a lot more noise. While this was a smaller class, the competition was stiff, and the speed of the vehicles made it hard to keep track of all that was going on. The event went on without any major incidents. This was also one of those heats where that the mud got so thick; it was very hard to tell one vehicle from another. The sky was growing dark by the time the fifth and final class of the Open Wire Full Size vehicles came onto the track. This was a small class with only five vehicles, but it was no less entertaining than the classes ahead of it. Several of these vehicles had exhaust pipes coming straight out of the manifolds on the engines. These are fun to watch because they get to throwing flames as the competition heats up. One car reached that point toward the end of the competition and the flames burned for quite some time. All in all, the night was a great way to end the Logan County Fair. The audience cheered and shouted at their favorite cars and booed and chided others. This is typical of any demo derby and the crowd did not disappoint the drivers with their shouts and support, just as the drivers did not disappoint the crowd with their ability to take the hard knocks and give back as good as they got.
